The NEXT-C-SID mechanism described in [1] offers the possibility of
encoding several SRv6 segments within a single 128 bit SID address. Such
a SID address is called a Compressed SID (C-SID) container. In this way,
the length of the SID List can be drastically reduced.

A SID instantiated with the NEXT-C-SID flavor considers an IPv6 address
logically structured in three main blocks: i) Locator-Block; ii)
Locator-Node Function; iii) Argument.

                        C-SID container
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|     Locator-Block      |Loc-Node|            Argument            |
|                        |Function|                                |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
<--------- B -----------> <- NF -> <------------- A --------------->

   (i) The Locator-Block can be any IPv6 prefix available to the provider;

  (ii) The Locator-Node Function represents the node and the function to
       be triggered when a packet is received on the node;

 (iii) The Argument carries the remaining C-SIDs in the current C-SID
       container.

This patch leverages the NEXT-C-SID mechanism previously introduced in the
Linux SRv6 subsystem [2] to support SID compression capabilities in the
SRv6 End.X behavior [3].
An SRv6 End.X behavior with NEXT-C-SID flavor works as an End.X behavior
but it is capable of processing the compressed SID List encoded in C-SID
containers.

An SRv6 End.X behavior with NEXT-C-SID flavor can be configured to support
user-provided Locator-Block and Locator-Node Function lengths. In this
implementation, such lengths must be evenly divisible by 8 (i.e. must be
byte-aligned), otherwise the kernel informs the user about invalid
values with a meaningful error code and message through netlink_ext_ack.

If Locator-Block and/or Locator-Node Function lengths are not provided
by the user during configuration of an SRv6 End.X behavior instance with
NEXT-C-SID flavor, the kernel will choose their default values i.e.,
32-bit Locator-Block and 16-bit Locator-Node Function.
